Get Ready for Li-Fi, a Technology 100 Times Faster Than Wi-Fi - by Victoria Ho/ Tech/ Mashable/ mashable.com
"The world might eventually have to shift its reliance on Wi-Fi to Li-Fi, an alternative technology that scientists say can reach speeds of 1 Gbps in real-world use — 100 times faster than average Wi-Fi speeds.
At those speeds, you could download a high-definition movie in just a few seconds.
A company called Velmenni told the IBTimes UK that it took the technology out of the labs and into real-world offices and industrial environments in Estonia, where it was able to achieve those speeds.
Li-Fi transmits data using LED lights, which flicker on and off within nanoseconds, imperceptible to the human eye. It was invented in 2011, and in the lab, has been able to reach a mindblowing 224 Gbps.
Unlike Wi-Fi signals which can penetrate walls, Li-Fi is based on light and can't, so its range is theoretically more limited. However, because of that limit, Li-Fi is also potentially more secure from external sniffing..."
